Best bet is to call Cummins with the number from your engine data plate

Nope, four bolts. No puller needed.

May need a piece of sandpaper or emory cloth, if there is some rust on the shaft. I had to clean mine off for it to come off. Just don't drop it on your head.

I left 2 bolts threaded in part way. Walked it loose with a pair of short prybars. Wasn't bad at all, once the rust was cleaned up.
